Being an avid wildlife enthusiast, and having children who are just as excited about nature as I am, led me to purchase Luke's new storybook "The Best Nest Contest".
A beautifully illustrated rhyming storybook that's perfect for young children! I hope this is the first of many!
Beautiful book and story.
I purchased two of Luke's beautiful books. One for my three children and one for their school teacher to share with their class.
The kids have asked to read it every night, they love recognising the birds and eggs and the illustrations throughout are amazing.
Hopefully a family favourite for years to come.

The book is a delight. Saw it on Facebook, it timed in beautifully with the discovery of a deserted, old nest in ivy covering a wall that my daughter and partner are updating prior to moving in. 4yr old grandson wanted to know which bird had built it! Then I chanced upon this gem of a book. It was a chaffinch nest.
The illustrations are glorious. The prose wonderful. Celebrates differences!
All in all I highly recommend this fabulous book.
Thank you

Celebrate individualism
The Best Nest Contest subtly emphasises the importance of individualism. Through simple rhymes and charming illustrations, children discover that every bird is unique with different needs.
​
This message helps kids recognize and appreciate their own unique qualities and those of others, fostering self-confidence and empathy.
​
By celebrating these differences, children can grow up feeling valued in their uniqueness and learn to value individualism in others. This book aims to instill this essential concept in a fun and engaging way, ensuring every child feels special and appreciated.
